Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received much attention in the realm of energy and catalytic conversion due to their maximum atomic efficiency. Herein, we report a cascade anchoring strategy for the preparation of a Cu-S1O2 species of single-atom catalyst attached to a carbon carrier containing P and S (Cu-S1O2 SA/CPS) with a content of 12.4 wt%. Over the Cu-S1O2 SA/CPS catalyst, the conversion of 95.8% and selectivity of 87.2% for acetylene hydration could still be achieved at 70 h (T = 200°C, GHSV(C2H2) = 90 h-1 and VH2O/VC2H2 = 4). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) tests reveal that the Cu atoms of Cu-S1O2 SA/CPS are predominantly coordinated in a trinary manner (Cu-S1O2). Based on high-resolution aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM), it is demonstrated that the Cu single-atom sites are highly dispersed in Cu-S1O2 SA/CPS. It is evident from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that Cu-S1O2 SA/CPS has a two-dimensional layered structure. The specific structure of the active site Cu is primarily attributed to the coordination of S and O atoms, resulting in its superior stability for acetylene hydration towards the synthesis of acetaldehyde. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the formation of the Cu-S1O2 site facilitates the activation of acetylene, which is a pivotal step in the acetylene hydration process and considered as the rate-determining step. This article not only introduces an innovative strategy in the synthesis of Cu SACs but also represents a significant breakthrough in the stability of Cu SACs in acetylene hydration.

Abstract
Although single-atom Cu sites exhibit high efficiency in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, they are prone to forming Cu nanoparticles due to reduction and aggregation under reaction conditions, especially at high temperatures. Herein, single-atom Cu sites stabilized by adjacent Na+ ions have been successfully constructed within a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalyst, namely MOF-808-NaCu. It is found that the electrostatic interaction between the Na+ and Hδ- species plays a pivotal role in upholding the atomic dispersion of Cu in MOF-808-NaCu during CO2 hydrogenation, even at temperatures of up to 275°C. This exceptional stabilization effect endows the catalyst with excellent activity (306 g·kgcat-1·h-1), high selectivity to methanol (93%) and long-term stability at elevated reaction temperatures, far surpassing the counterpart in the absence of Na+ (denoted as MOF-808-Cu). This work develops an effective strategy for the fabrication of stable single-atom sites for advanced catalysis by creating an alkali-decorated microenvironment in close proximity.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of the exact structural characteristics and reaction mechanisms of interface active sites is vital to engineering an energetic metal-support boundary in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, benefiting from a newly developed high-temperature ion trap reactor, the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) (CO2 + H2 → CO + H2O) catalyzed by a series of compositionally and structurally well-defined RhnVO3,4- (n = 3-7) clusters were identified under variable temperatures (298-773 K). It is discovered that the Rh5-7VO3,4- clusters can function more effectively to drive RWGS at relatively low temperatures. The experimentally observed size-dependent catalytic behavior was rationalized by quantum-chemical calculations; the framework of RhnVO3,4- is constructed by depositing the Rhn clusters on the VO3,4 "support", and a sandwiched base-acid-base [Rhout--Rhin+-VO3,4-; Rhout and Rhin represent the outer and inner Rh atoms, respectively] feature in Rh5-7VO3,4- governs the adsorption and activation of reactants as well as the facile desorption of the products. In contrast, isolated Rh5-7- clusters without the electronic modification of the VO3,4 "support" can only catalyze RWGS under relatively high-temperature conditions.

Abstract
The decomposition of dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP), a simulant for the nerve agent sarin, was investigated on Cu4/TiO2(110) and K/Cu4/TiO2(110) surfaces using a combination of near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and density functional theory calculations (DFT). Mass-selected Cu4 clusters and potassium (K) atoms were deposited onto TiO2(110) as a metal catalyst and alkali promoter to improve the reactivity and recyclability of the TiO2 surface after exposure to DMMP. Surface reaction products resulting from decomposition of DMMP were probed by NAP-XPS measurements of phosphorus (P) 2p and carbon 1s core-level spectra. The Cu4/TiO2(110) surface is found to be very active for DMMP decomposition with highly reduced P-species observed even at room temperature (RT). The codeposition of K atoms and Cu4 clusters further improves the reactivity with no intact DMMP detectable. Temperature-dependent measurements show that the presence of K atoms promotes the removal of residual P-species at temperatures > 600 K. Detailed DFT calculations were performed to determine the surface structures and energetically accessible pathways for DMMP decomposition on Cu4/TiO2(110) and K/Cu4/TiO2(110) surfaces. The calculations show that DMMP and P-containing reaction products preferentially bind to the TiO2 surface, while the molecular fragments, i.e., methoxy and methyl, bind to both the Cu4 clusters and TiO2. The Cu4 clusters make the P-O, O-C, and P-C bond cleavages of DMMP markedly more exothermic. The Cu4 clusters are highly fluxional with atomic structures that depend on the configuration of fragments bound to them. Finally, the manifold of P 2p chemical shifts calculated for a large number of energetically favorable configurations of decomposition products is in good agreement with the observed XPS spectra and provides an alternative way of interpreting incompletely resolved core-level spectra using an ensemble of observed structures.

Abstract
The dry reforming of methane provides an attractive route to convert greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2) into valuable syngas, so as to resolve the carbon cycle and environmental issues. However, the development of high-performance catalysts remains a huge challenge. Herein, we report a 0.6% Ir/CeO2-x catalyst with a metal-support interface structure which exhibits high CH4 (~72%) and CO2 (~82%) conversion and a CH4 reaction rate of ~973 μmolCH4 gcat-1 s-1 which is stable over 100 h at 700 °C. The performance of the catalyst is close to the state-of-the-art in this area of research. A combination of in situ spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations highlight the importance of the interfacial structure as an intrinsic active center to facilitate the CH4 dissociation (the rate-determining step) and the CH2* oxidation to CH2O* without coke formation, which accounts for the long-term stability. The catalyst in this work has a potential application prospect in the field of high-value utilization of carbon resources.

Abstract
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to azoxy compounds is highly important, yet challenging. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to construct individually dispersed Co atoms decorated on niobium pentaoxide nanomeshes with unique geometric and electronic properties. The use of this supported Co single atom catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene results in high catalytic activity and selectivity, with 99% selectivity and 99% conversion within 0.5 h. Remarkably, it delivers an exceptionally high turnover frequency of 40377 h-1, which is amongst similar state-of-the-art catalysts. In addition, it demonstrates remarkable recyclability, reaction scalability, and wide substrate scope. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the catalytic activity and selectivity are significantly promoted by the unique electronic properties and strong electronic metal-support interaction in Co1/Nb2O5. The absence of precious metals, toxic solvents, and reagents makes this catalyst more appealing for synthesizing azoxy compounds from nitroaromatics. Our findings suggest the great potential of this strategy to access single atom catalysts with boosted activity and selectivity, thus offering blueprints for the design of nanomaterials for organocatalysis.

Abstract
Unique active sites make single-atom (SA) catalysts promising to overcome obstacles in homogeneous catalysis but challenging due to their fixed coordination environment. Click chemistry is restricted by the low activity of more available Cu(II) catalysts without reducing agents. Herein, we develop efficient, O-coordinated SA Cu(II) directly catalyzed click chemistry. As revealed by theoretical calculations of the superior coordination structure to promote the click reaction, an organic molecule-assisted strategy is applied to prepare the corresponding SA Cu catalysts with respective O and N coordination. Although they both belong to Cu(II) centers, the O-coordinated one exhibits a 5-fold higher activity than the other and even much better activity than traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous Cu(II) catalysts. Control experiments further proved that the O-coordinated SA Cu(II) catalyst tends to be reduced by alkyne into Cu acetylide rather than the N-coordinated catalyst and thus facilitates click chemistry.

Abstract
Metal promotion could unlock high performance in zinc-zirconium catalysts, ZnZrOx, for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Still, with most efforts devoted to costly palladium, the optimal metal choice and necessary atomic-level architecture remain unclear. Herein, we investigate the promotion of ZnZrOx catalysts with small amounts (0.5 mol%) of diverse hydrogenation metals (Re, Co, Au, Ni, Rh, Ag, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, and Cu) prepared via a standardized flame spray pyrolysis approach. Cu emerges as the most effective promoter, doubling methanol productivity. Operando X-ray absorption, infrared, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory simulations reveal that Cu0 species form Zn-rich low-nuclearity CuZn clusters on the ZrO2 surface during reaction, which correlates with the generation of oxygen vacancies in their vicinity. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that this catalytic ensemble promotes the rapid hydrogenation of intermediate formate into methanol while effectively suppressing CO production, showcasing the potential of low-nuclearity metal ensembles in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
The thermochemical conversion of CO2 into methanol, a process known for its selectivity, often encounters a significant obstacle: the reverse water gas reaction. This problem emerges due to the demanding high temperatures and pressures, causing instability in catalytic performance. Recent endeavours have focused on innovatively designing catalysts capable of withstanding such conditions. Given the costliness of experimental approaches, a theoretical framework has emerged as a promising avenue for addressing the challenges in methanol production. It has been reported that transition metals, especially Pd, provide ideal binding sites for CO2 molecules and hydrogen atoms, facilitating their interactions and subsequent conversion to methanol. In the geometric single-atom form, their surface enables precise control over the reaction pathways and enhances the selectivity towards methanol. In our study, we employed density functional theory (DFT) to explore the conversion of CO2 to CH3OH on Pd1-Cu(111) and Pd1-Ag(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) catalysts. Our investigation involved mapping out the complex reaction pathways of CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH using microkinetic reaction modelling and mechanisms. We examined three distinct pathways: the COOH* formation pathway, the HCOO* formation pathway, and the dissociation of CO2* to CO* pathway. This comprehensive analysis encompassed the determination of adsorption energies for all reactants, transition states, and resultant products. Additionally, we investigated the thermodynamic and kinetic profiles of individual reaction steps. Our findings emphasised the essential role of the Pd single atom in enhancing the activation of CO2, highlighting the key mechanism underlying this catalytic process. The favoured route for methanol generation on the Pd1-Ag(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) surface unfolds as follows: CO2* progresses through a series of transformations, transitioning successively into HCOO*, HCOOH*, H2COOH*, CH2O*, and CH2OH*, terminating in the formation of CH3OH*, due to lower activation energies and higher rate constants.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysis (SAC) attracts wide interest for zinc-air batteries that require high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen reactions. However, catalyst design is still highly challenging because of the insufficient driving force for promoting multiple-electron transfer kinetics. Herein, we report a superstructure-assisted SAC on tungsten carbides for oxygen evolution and reduction reactions. In addition to the usual single atomic sites, strikingly, we reveal the presence of highly ordered Co superstructures in the interfacial region with tungsten carbides that induce internal strain and promote bifunctional catalysis. Theoretical calculations show that the combined effects from superstructures and single atoms strongly reduce the adsorption energy of intermediates and overpotential of both oxygen reactions. The catalyst therefore presented impressive bifunctional activity with an ultralow potential gap of 0.623 V and delivered a high power density of 188.5 mW cm-2 for assembled zinc-air batteries. This work opens up new opportunities for atomic catalysis.

Abstract
Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is an important feedstock in fuels, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Nanostructured electrocatalysts drive green electrosynthesis of hydroxylamine from nitrogen oxide species in water. However, current electrocatalysts still suffer from low selectivity and manpower-consuming trial-and-error modes, leaving unclear selectivity/activity origins and a lack of catalyst design principles. Herein, we theoretically analyze key determinants of selectivity/activity and propose the adsorption energy of NHO (Gad(*NHO)) as a performance descriptor. A weak *NH2OH binding affinity and a favorable reaction pathway (*NHO pathway) jointly enable single-atom catalysts (SACs) with superior NH2OH selectivity. Then, an activity volcano plot of Gad(*NHO) is established to predict a series of SACs and discover Mn SACs as optimal electrocatalysts that exhibit pH-dependent activity. These theoretical prediction results are also confirmed by experimental results, rationalizing our Gad(*NHO) descriptor. Furthermore, Mn-Co geminal-atom catalysts (GACs) are predicted to optimize Gad(*NHO) and are experimentally proved to enhance NH2OH formation.

Abstract
The dynamic response of single-atom catalysts to a reactive environment is an increasingly significant topic for understanding the reaction mechanism at the molecular level. In particular, single atoms may experience dynamic aggregation into clusters or nanoparticles driven by thermodynamic or kinetic factors. Herein, the inherent mechanistic nuances that determine the dynamic profile during the reaction will be uncovered, including the intrinsic stability and site-migration barrier of single atoms, external stimuli (temperature, voltage, and adsorbates), and the influence of catalyst support. Such dynamic aggregation can be beneficial or deleterious on the catalytic performance depending on the optimal initial state. Those examples will be highlighted where in situ formed clusters, rather than single atoms, serve as catalytically active sites for improved catalytic performance. This is followed by the introduction of operando techniques to understand the structural evolution. Finally, the emerging strategies via confinement and defect-engineering to regulate dynamic aggregation will be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are demonstrated to show exceptional reactivity and selectivity in catalytic reactions by effectively utilizing metal species, making them a favorable choice among the different active materials for energy conversion. However, SACs are still in the early stages of energy conversion, and problems like agglomeration and low energy conversion efficiency are hampering their practical applications. Substantial research focus on support modifications, which are vital for SAC reactivity and stability due to the intimate relationship between metal atoms and support. In this review, a category of supports and a variety of surface engineering strategies employed in SA systems are summarized, including surface site engineering (heteroatom doping, vacancy introducing, surface groups grafting, and coordination tunning) and surface structure engineering (size/morphology control, cocatalyst deposition, facet engineering, and crystallinity control). Also, the merits of support surface engineering in single-atom systems are systematically introduced. Highlights are the comprehensive summary and discussions on the utilization of surface-engineered SACs in diversified energy conversion applications including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and energy conversion devices. At the end of this review, the potential and obstacles of using surface-engineered SACs in the field of energy conversion are discussed. This review aims to guide the rational design and manipulation of SACs for target-specific applications by capitalizing on the characteristic benefits of support surface engineering.

Abstract
Slow multi-proton coupled electron transfer kinetics and unexpected desorption of intermediates severely hinder the selectivity of CO2 methanation. In this work, a one-stone-two-bird strategy of pumping protons and improving adsorption configuration/capability enabled by electron localization is developed to be highly efficient for CH4 electrosynthesis over Cu single atoms anchored on bismuth vacancies of BiVO4 (Bi1-xVO4─Cu), with superior kinetic isotope effect and high CH4 Faraday efficiency (92%), far outperforming state-of-the-art electrocatalysts for CO2 methanation. Control experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the bismuth vacancies (VBi) not only act as active sites for H2O dissociation but also induce electron transfer toward Cu single-atom sites. The VBi-induced electron localization pumps *H from VBi sites to Cu single atoms, significantly promoting the generation and stabilization of the pivotal intermediate (*CHO) for highly selective CH4 electrosynthesis. The metal vacancies as new initiators show enormous potential in the proton transfer-involved hydrogenative conversion processes.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
The atomically dispersed metal catalysts with full atomic utilization and well-defined site structure hold great promise for various catalytic reactions. However, the single metallic site limits the comprehensive reaction performance in most reactions. Here, we demonstrated a photo-induced neighbour-deposition strategy for the precise synthesis of diatomic Ir1 Pd1 on In2 O3 applied for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The proximity synergism between diatomic sites enabled a striking promotion in both CO2 conversion (10.5 %) and methanol selectivity (97 %) with good stability of 100 h run. It resulted in record-breaking space-time yield to methanol (187.1 gMeOH gmetal -1 hour-1 ). The promotional effect mainly originated from stronger CO2 adsorption on Ir site with assistance of H-spillover from Pd site, thus leading to a lower energy barrier for *HCOO pathway. It was confirmed that this synergistic effect strongly depended on the dual-site distance in an angstrom scale, which was attributed to weaker *H spillover and less electron transfer from Pd to Ir site as the Pd-to-Ir distance increased. The average dual-site distance was evaluated by our firstly proposed photoelectric model. Thus, this study introduced a pioneering strategy to precisely synthesize homonuclear/heteronuclear diatomic catalysts for facilitating the desired reaction route via diatomic synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) provides a promising route to converting CO2 into value-added chemicals and to neutralizing the greenhouse gas emission. For the industrial application of CO2RR, high-performance electrocatalysts featuring high activities and selectivities are essential. It has been demonstrated that customizing the catalyst surface/interface structures allows for high-precision control over the microenvironment for catalysis as well as the adsorption/desorption behaviors of key reaction intermediates in CO2RR, thereby elevating the activity, selectivity and stability of the electrocatalysts. In this paper, we review the progress in customizing the surface/interface structures for CO2RR electrocatalysts (including atomic-site catalysts, metal catalysts, and metal/oxide catalysts). From the perspectives of coordination engineering, atomic interface design, surface modification, and hetero-interface construction, we delineate the resulting specific alterations in surface/interface structures, and their effect on the CO2RR process. At the end of this review, we present a brief discussion and outlook on the current challenges and future directions for achieving high-efficiency CO2RR via surface/interface engineering.

Abstract
The chemovoltaic effect - generation of electronic excitation by exergonic redox reactions - has been observed on metallic surfaces of Schottky junctions and is proving to be pivotal in explaining in detail the momentum conservation relations of chemically active collisions. As shown in this work, it can hold keys for direct chemical energy harvesting by semiconductor solar cells. To study the possibilities of chemovoltaic energy conversion by semiconductors, we have modeled and designed an 'electrolyte-free fuel cell' formed by a GaAs diode that can host electrochemical fuel oxidation and oxidant reduction reactions on its conduction and valence bands and as a result convert renewable chemical energy (as well as light) into electricity. The experimental results show that exposing the surface of a suitably designed solar cell to methanol liquid or vapor in the presence of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide leads to the generation of electrical power.

High entropy alloys and metallic glasses, as two typical metastable nanomaterials, have attracted tremendous interest in energy conversion catalysis due to their high reactivity in nonequilibrium states. Herein, a novel nanomaterial, layered high entropy metallic glass (HEMG), in a higher energy state than low-entropy alloys and its crystalline counterpart due to both the disordered elemental and structural arrangements, is synthesized. Specifically, the MnNiZrRuCe HEMG exhibits highly enhanced photothermal catalytic activity and long-term stability. An unprecedented CO2 methanation rate of 489 mmol g-1 h-1 at 330 °C is achieved, which is, to the authors' knowledge, the highest photothermal CO2 methanation rate in flow reactors. The remarkable activity originates from the abundant free volume and high internal energy state of HEMG, which lead to the extraordinary heterolytic H2 dissociation capacity. The high-entropy effect also ensures the excellent stability of HEMG for up to 450 h. This work not only provides a new perspective on the catalytic mechanism of HEMG, but also sheds light on the great catalytic potential in future carbon-negative industry.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 and H2 O into fuels and oxygen is a highly promising solution for carbon-neutral recycling. Traditionally, researchers have studied CO2 reduction and H2 O oxidation separately, overlooking potential synergistic interplay between these processes. This study introduces an innovative approach, spatial synergy, which encourages synergistic progress by bringing the two half-reactions into atomic proximity. To facilitate this, we developed a defective ZnIn2 S4 -supported single-atom Cu catalyst (Cu-SA/D-ZIS), which demonstrates remarkable catalytic performance with CO2 reduction rates of 112.5 μmol g-1 h-1 and water oxidation rates of 52.3 μmol g-1 h-1 , exhibiting a six-fold enhancement over D-ZIS. The structural characterization results indicated that the trapping effect of vacancy associates on single-atom copper led to the formation of an unsaturated coordination structure, Cu-S3 , consequently giving rise to the CuZn 'VS ⋅⋅VZn " defect complexes. FT-IR studies coupled with theoretical calculations reveal the spatially synergistic CO2 reduction and water oxidation on CuZn 'VS ⋅⋅VZn ", where the breakage of O-H in water oxidation is synchronized with the formation of *COOH, significantly lowering the energy barrier. Notably, this study introduces and, for the first time, substantiates the spatial synergy effect in CO2 reduction and H2 O oxidation through a combination of experimental and theoretical analyses, providing a fresh insight in optimizing photocatalytic system.

Abstract
In modern heterogeneous catalysis, it remains highly challenging to create stable, low-cost, mesoporous 2D photo-/electro-catalysts that carry atomically dispersed active sites. In this work, a general shape-preserving amorphous-to-crystalline transformation (ACT) strategy is developed to dope various transition metal (TM) heteroatoms in ZrO2 , which enabled the scalable synthesis of TMs/oxide with a mesoporous 2D structure and rich defects. During the ACT process, the amorphous MZrO2 nanoparticles (M = Fe, Ni, Cu, Co, Mn) are deposited within a confined space created by the NaCl template, and they transform to crystalline 2D ACT-MZrO2 nanosheets in a shape-preserving manner. The interconnected crystalline ACT-MZrO2 nanoparticles thus inherit the same structure as the original MZrO2 precursor. Owing to its rich active sites on the surface and abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs), ACT-CoZrO2 gives superior performance in catalyzing the CO2 -to-syngas conversion as demonstrated by experiments and theoretical calculations. The ACT chemistry opens a general route for the scalable synthesis of advanced catalysts with precise microstructure by reconciliating the control of crystalline morphologies and the dispersion of heteroatoms.

Abstract
The thermocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high value-added chemicals provides a strategy to address the environmental problems caused by excessive carbon emissions and the sustainable production of chemicals. Significant progress has been made in the CO2 hydrogenation to long chain α-olefins, but controlling C-O activation and C-C coupling remains a great challenge. This review focuses on the recent advances in catalyst design concepts for the synthesis of long chain α-olefins from CO2 hydrogenation. We have systematically summarized and analyzed the ingenious design of catalysts, reaction mechanisms, the interaction between active sites and supports, structure-activity relationship, influence of reaction process parameters on catalyst performance, and catalyst stability, as well as the regeneration methods. Meanwhile, the challenges in the development of the long chain α-olefins synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation are proposed, and the future development opportunities are prospected. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive perspective on long chain α-olefins synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation to inspire the invention of novel catalysts and accelerate the development of this process.

Abstract
The CO2 hydrogenation reaction to produce methanol holds great significance as it contributes to achieving a CO2-neutral economy. Previous research identified isolated Cu+ species doping the oxide surface of a Cu-MgO-Al2O3-mixed oxide derived from a hydrotalcite precursor as the active site in CO2 hydrogenation, stabilizing monodentate formate species as a crucial intermediate in methanol synthesis. In this work, we present a molecular-level understanding of how surface water and hydroxyl groups play a crucial role in facilitating spontaneous CO2 activation at Cu+ sites and the formation of monodentate formate species. Computational evidence has been experimentally validated by comparing the catalytic performance of the Cu-MgO-Al2O3 catalyst with hydroxyl groups against that of its hydrophobic counterpart, where hydroxyl groups are blocked using an esterification method. Our work highlights the synergistic effect between doped Cu+ ions and adjacent hydroxyl groups, both of which serve as key parameters in regulating methanol production via CO2 hydrogenation. By elucidating the specific roles of these components, we contribute to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and provide valuable insights for optimizing methanol synthesis processes.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into methanol on a large scale is of great significance in the sustainable methanol economy. Zirconia species are considered to be an essential support in Cu-based catalysts due to their excellent properties for CO2 adsorption and activation. However, the evolution of Zr species during the reaction and the effect of their structure on the reaction pathways remain unclear. Herein, single-site Zr species in an amorphous SiO2 matrix are created by enhancing the Zr-Si interaction in Cu/ZrO2 -SiO2 catalysts. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals that the coordination environment of single-site Zr is sensitive to the atmosphere and reaction conditions. We demonstrate that the CO2 adsorption occurs preferably on the interface of Cu and single-site Zr rather than on ZrO2 nanoparticles. Methanol synthesis in reverse water-gas-shift (RWGS)+CO-hydro pathway is verified only over single-dispersed Zr sites, whereas the ordinary formate pathway occurs on ZrO2 nanoparticles. Thus, it expands a non-competitive parallel pathway as a supplement to the dominant formate pathway, resulting in the enhancement of Cu activity sixfold and twofold based on Cu/SiO2 and Cu/ZrO2 catalysts, respectively. The establishment of this dual-channel pathway by single-site Zr species in this work opens new horizons for understanding the role of atomically dispersed oxides in catalysis science.

Abstract
The limited surface coverage and activity of active hydrides on oxide surfaces pose challenges for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Herein, we quantitatively distinguish the long-puzzling homolytic dissociation of hydrogen from the heterolytic pathway on Ga2O3, that is useful for enhancing hydrogenation ability of oxides. By combining transient kinetic analysis with infrared and mass spectroscopies, we identify the catalytic role of coordinatively unsaturated Ga3+ in homolytic H2 dissociation, which is formed in-situ during the initial heterolytic dissociation. This site facilitates easy hydrogen dissociation at low temperatures, resulting in a high hydride coverage on Ga2O3 (H/surface Ga3+ ratio of 1.6 and H/OH ratio of 5.6). The effectiveness of homolytic dissociation is governed by the Ga-Ga distance, which is strongly influenced by the initial coordination of Ga3+. Consequently, by tuning the coordination of active Ga3+ species as well as the coverage and activity of hydrides, we achieve enhanced hydrogenation of CO2 to CO, methanol or light olefins by 4-6 times.

Abstract
In2O3 is a promising catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, relevant to renewable energy storage in chemicals. Herein, we investigated the promoting role of Al on In2O3 using flame spray pyrolysis to prepare a series of In2O3-Al2O3 samples in a single step (0-20 mol % Al). Al promoted the methanol yield, with an optimum being observed at an Al content of 5 mol %. Extensive characterization showed that Al can dope into the In2O3 lattice (maximum ∼ 1.2 mol %), leading to the formation of more oxygen vacancies involved in CO2 adsorption and methanol formation. The rest of Al is present as small Al2O3 domains at the In2O3 surface, blocking the active sites for CO2 hydrogenation and contributing to higher CO selectivity. At higher Al content (≥10 mol % Al), the particle size of In2O3 decreases due to the stabilizing effect of Al2O3. Nevertheless, these smaller particles are prone to sintering during CO2 hydrogenation since they appear to be more easily reduced. These findings show subtle effects of a structural promoter such as Al on the reducibility and texture of In2O3 as a CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract
The growing concern over the escalating levels of anthropogenic CO2 emissions necessitates effective strategies for its conversion to valuable chemicals and fuels. In this research, we embark on a comprehensive investigation of the nature of zirconia on a copper inverse catalyst under the conditions of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. We employ density functional theory calculations in combination with the Grand Canonical Basin Hopping method, enabling an exploration of the free energy surface including a variable amount of adsorbates within the relevant reaction conditions. Our focus centers on a model three-atom Zr cluster on a Cu(111) surface decorated with various OH, O, and formate ligands, noted Zr3Ox (OH)y (HCOO)z/Cu(111), revealing major changes in the active site induced by various reaction parameters such as the gas pressure, temperature, conversion levels, and CO2/H2 feed ratios. Through our analysis, we have unveiled insights into the dynamic behavior of the catalyst. Specifically, under reaction conditions, we observe a large number of composition and structures with similar free energy for the catalyst, with respect to changing the type, number, and binding sites of adsorbates, suggesting that the active site should be regarded as a statistical ensemble of diverse structures that interconvert.

Abstract
Electrochemical acetylene reduction (EAR) is a promising strategy for removing acetylene from ethylene-rich gas streams. However, suppressing the undesirable hydrogen evolution is vital for practical applications in acetylene-insufficient conditions. Herein, Cu single atoms are immobilized on anatase TiO2 nanoplates (Cu-SA/TiO2 ) for electrochemical acetylene reduction, achieving an ethylene selectivity of ≈97% with a 5 vol% acetylene gas feed (Ar balance). At the optimal Cu-single-atom loading, Cu-SA/TiO2 is able to effectively suppress HER and ethylene over-hydrogenation even when using dilute acetylene (0.5 vol%) or ethylene-rich gas feeds, delivering a 99.8% acetylene conversion, providing a turnover frequency of 8.9 × 10-2 s-1 , which is superior to other EAR catalysts reported to date. Theoretical calculations show that the Cu single atoms and the TiO2 support acted cooperatively to promote charge transfer to adsorbed acetylene molecules, whilst also inhibiting hydrogen generation in alkali environments, thus allowing selective ethylene production with negligible hydrogen evolution at low acetylene concentrations.

Abstract
Copper is the only metal that can convert CO2 into C2 and C2+ in electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR). However, the Faraday efficiency of CO2 conversion to C2 and C2+ products at high current densities is still low, which cannot meet the actual industrial demand. Here, the design methods of single-atom copper catalysts (including regulating the coordination environment of single-atom copper, modifying the carbon base surface and constructing diatomic Cu catalysts) are reviewed, and the current limitations and future research directions of copper-based single-atom catalysts are proposed, providing directions for the industrial conversion of CO2 into C2 and C2+ products.

Abstract
Effective activation of CO2 is a primarily challenging issue in CO2 reduction to value-added hydrocarbon chemicals, due to the large energy gap between the highest-occupied and lowest-unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO). Here, we employ state-of-the-art first-principles calculations to explore the synergetic role of thermal catalysis and photocatalysis in CO2 reduction, on typical single-atom scale catalyst, i.e., Cu2 magic cluster on a semiconducting two-dimensional MoS2 substrate. It is identified that only about 1% of the hot electrons excited from the MoS2 substrate by at least 6.3 eV photons may be trapped by the inert CO2 molecule at the expense of 400 fs. Moreover, the physisorption-to-chemisorption transition of CO2 can be observed within 500 fs upon overcoming an about 0.05 eV energy barrier. Contrastingly, upon chemisorption, the activated CO2δ- species may trap about 7% of the hot electron excited from the MoS2 substrate by about 2.5 eV visible photons, with a cost of 140 fs.

Abstract
In-plane sulfur vacancies (Sv) in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) were newly unveiled for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, whereas edge Sv were found to facilitate methane formation. Thus, selective exposure and activation of basal plane is crucial for methanol synthesis. Here, we report a mesoporous silica-encapsulated MoS2 catalysts with fullerene-like structure and atomic copper (Cu/MoS2@SiO2). The main approach is based on a physically constrained topologic conversion of molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) to MoS2 within silica. The spherical curvature enables the generation of strain and Sv in inert basal plane. More importantly, fullerene-like structure of few-layer MoS2 can selectively expose in-plane Sv and reduce the exposure of edge Sv. After promotion by atomic copper, the resultant Cu/MoS2@SiO2 exhibits stable specific methanol yield of 6.11 molMeOH molMo-1 h-1 with methanol selectivity of 72.5% at 260 °C, much superior to its counterparts lacking the fullerene-like structure and copper decoration. The reaction mechanism and promoting role of copper are investigated by in-situ DRIFTS and in-situ XAS. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the compressive strain facilitates Sv formation and CO2 hydrogenation, while tensile strain accelerates the regeneration of active sites, rationalizing the critical role of strain.

Abstract
Various catalysts are developed to improve the performance of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors, but achieving high selectivity and response intensity in chemiresistive gas sensors (CGSs) remains a significant challenge. In this study, an in situ-annealing approach to synthesize Cu catalytic sites on ultrathin WO2.72 nanowires for detecting toluene at ultralow concentrations (Ra /Rg = 1.9 at 10 ppb) with high selectivity is developed. Experimental and molecular dynamic studies reveal that the Cu single atoms (SAs) act as active sites, promoting the oxidation of toluene and increasing the affinity of Cu single-atom catalysts (SACs)-containing sensing materials for toluene while weakening the association with carbon dioxide or water vapor. Density functional theory studies show that the selective binding of toluene to Cu SAs is due to the favorable binding sites provided by Cu SAs for toluene molecules over other gaseous species, which aids the adsorption of toluene on WO2.72 nanowires. This study demonstrates the successful atomic-level interface regulation engineering of WO2.72 nanowire-supported Cu SAs, providing a potential strategy for the development of highly active and durable CGSs.

Abstract
ZrO2-Cu-based catalysts are active in catalyzing the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Herein, we report Cu facet effects on the catalytic performance of ZrO2/Cu inverse catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol using various Cu nanocrystals with well-defined Cu morphologies and facets. The ZrO2-Cu interface is the active site, in which the ZrO2-Cu{100} and ZrO2-Cu{110} interfaces exhibit similar apparent activation energies of ∼42.6 kJ/mol, smaller than that of the ZrO2-Cu{111} interface (∼64.5 kJ/mol). Temporal in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy characterization results identify the bridge formate hydrogenation as the rate-determining elementary surface reaction under typical reaction temperatures, whose activation energy is similar at the ZrO2-Cu{100} (∼36.3 kJ/mol) and ZrO2-Cu{110} (∼40.5 kJ/mol) interfaces and larger at the ZrO2-Cu{111} interface (∼54.5 kJ/mol). This fundamental understanding suggests Cu facet engineering as a promising strategy to improve the catalytic performance of ZrO2/Cu inverse catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

Abstract
The development of efficient catalysts for the direct synthesis of higher alcohols (HA) via CO hydrogenation has remained a prominent research challenge. While modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (m-FTS) systems hold great potential, they often retain limited active site density under operating conditions for industrially relevant performance. Aimed at improving existing catalyst architectures, this study investigates the impact of highly dispersed metal oxides of Co-Cu, Cu-Fe, and Co-Fe m-FTS systems and demonstrates the viability of ZrO2 as a general promoter in the direct synthesis of HA from syngas. A volcano-like composition-performance relationship, in which 5-10 mol % ZrO2 resulted in maximal HA productivity, governs all catalyst families. The promotional effect resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in HA productivity for the optimized Cu1Co4@ZrO2-5 catalyst (Cu:Co = 1:4, 5 mol % ZrO2) compared to its ZrO2-free counterpart and placed Co1Fe4@ZrO2-10 among the most productive systems (345 mgHA h-1 gcat-1) reported in this category under comparable operating conditions, with stable performance for at least 300 h. ZrO2 assumes an amorphous and defective nature on the catalysts, leading to enhanced H2 and CO activation, facilitated formation of metallic and carbide phases, and structural stabilization.

Abstract
Cu-based nanocatalysts are the cornerstone of various industrial catalytic processes. Synergistically strengthening the catalytic stability and activity of Cu-based nanocatalysts is an ongoing challenge. Herein, the high-entropy principle is applied to modify the structure of Cu-based nanocatalysts, and a PVP templated method is invented for generally synthesizing six-eleven dissimilar elements as high-entropy two-dimensional (2D) materials. Taking 2D Cu2Zn1Al0.5Ce5Zr0.5Ox as an example, the high-entropy structure not only enhances the sintering resistance from 400 °C to 800 °C but also improves its CO2 hydrogenation activity to a pure CO production rate of 417.2 mmol g-1 h-1 at 500 °C, 4 times higher than that of reported advanced catalysts. When 2D Cu2Zn1Al0.5Ce5Zr0.5Ox are applied to the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation, it exhibits a record photochemical energy conversion efficiency of 36.2%, with a CO generation rate of 248.5 mmol g-1 h-1 and 571 L of CO yield under ambient sunlight irradiation. The high-entropy 2D materials provide a new route to simultaneously achieve catalytic stability and activity, greatly expanding the application boundaries of photothermal catalysis.

Abstract
Integrating single atoms and clusters into one system is a novel strategy to achieve desired catalytic performances. Compared with homogeneous single-atom cluster catalysts, heterogeneous ones combine the merits of different species and therefore show greater potential. However, it is still challenging to construct single-atom cluster systems of heterogeneous species, and the underlying mechanism for activity improvement remains unclear. In this work, we developed a heterogeneous single-atom cluster catalyst (ConIr1/N-C) for efficient oxygen evolution. The Ir single atoms worked in synergy with the Co clusters at a distance of about 8 Å, which optimized the configuration of the key intermediates. Consequently, the oxygen evolution activity was significantly improved on ConIr1/N-C relative to the Co cluster catalyst (Con/N-C), exhibiting an overpotential lower by 107 mV than that of Con/N-C at 10 mA cm-2 and a turnover frequency 50.9 times as much as that of Con/N-C at an overpotential of 300 mV.

Abstract
Reactive metal-support interactions (RMSIs) induce the formation of bimetallic alloys and offer an effective way to tune the electronic and geometric properties of metal sites for advanced catalysis. However, RMSIs often require high-temperature reductions (>500 °C), which significantly limits the tuning of bimetallic compositional varieties. Here, we report that an atomically thick Ga2O3 coating of Pd nanoparticles enables the initiation of RMSIs at a much lower temperature of ∼250 °C. State-of-the-art microscopic and in situ spectroscopic studies disclose that low-temperature RMSIs initiate the formation of rarely reported Ga-rich PdGa alloy phases, distinct from the Pd2Ga phase formed in traditional Pd/Ga2O3 catalysts after high-temperature reduction. In the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, the Ga-rich alloy phases impressively boost the formation of methanol and dimethyl ether ∼5 times higher than that of Pd/Ga2O3. In situ infrared spectroscopy reveals that the Ga-rich phases greatly favor formate formation as well as its subsequent hydrogenation, thus leading to high productivity.

Abstract
In this work, we have designed and synthesized nickel-laden dendritic plasmonic colloidosomes of Au (black gold-Ni). The photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation activities of black gold-Ni increased dramatically to the extent that measurable photoactivity was only observed with the black gold-Ni catalyst, with a very high photocatalytic CO production rate (2464 ± 40 mmol gNi-1 h-1) and 95% selectivity. Notably, the reaction was carried out in a flow reactor at low temperature and atmospheric pressure without external heating. The catalyst was stable for at least 100 h. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy studies indicated indirect hot-electron transfer from the black gold to Ni in less than 100 fs, corroborated by a reduction in Au-plasmon electron-phonon lifetime and a bleach signal associated with Ni d-band filling. Photocatalytic reaction rates on excited black gold-Ni showed a superlinear power law dependence on the light intensity, with a power law exponent of 5.6, while photocatalytic quantum efficiencies increased with an increase in light intensity and reaction temperature, which indicated the hot-electron-mediated mechanism. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in light (1.91) was higher than that in the dark (∼1), which further indicated the electron-driven plasmonic CO2 hydrogenation. Black gold-Ni catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation in the presence of an electron-accepting molecule, methyl-p-benzoquinone, reduced the CO production rate, asserting the hot-electron-mediated mechanism. Operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) showed that CO2 hydrogenation took place by a direct dissociation path via linearly bonded Ni-CO intermediates. The outstanding catalytic performance of black gold-Ni may provide a way to develop plasmonic catalysts for CO2 reduction and other catalytic processes using black gold.

Abstract
It is highly desired to achieve controllable product selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation. Herein, we report light-induced switching of reaction pathways of CO2 hydrogenation towards CH3 OH production over actomically dispersed Co decorated Pt@UiO-66-NH2 . CO, being the main product in the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) pathway under thermocatalysis condition, is switched to CH3 OH via the formate pathway with the assistance of light irradiation. Impressively, the space-time yield of CH3 OH in photo-assisted thermocatalysis (1916.3 μmol gcat -1 h-1 ) is about 7.8 times higher than that without light at 240 °C and 1.5 MPa. Mechanism investigation indicates that upon light irradiation, excited UiO-66-NH2 can transfer electrons to Pt nanoparticles and Co sites, which can efficiently catalyze the critical elementary steps (i.e., CO2 -to-*HCOO conversion), thus suppressing the RWGS pathway to achieve a high CH3 OH selectivity.

Abstract
In this study, we construct a Cu@ZrO2 heterogenous structure as a new catalyst that achieves a large NH3 yield of 15.4 mg h-1 mg-1cat. and a high faradaic efficiency of 67.6% at -0.7 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M PBS with 0.1 M NaNO3, and it also shows excellent electrochemical durability and structural stability. Theoretical calculations reveal an extremely low adsorption energy of -1.54 eV at Cu surfaces and Cu can significantly reduce the applied overpotential and correspondingly promote the catalytic activity.
